Label / history
The name was inspired by Armida, a character in Torquato Tasso’s Jerusalem Delivered. Armida is a young Muslim sorceress of captivating beauty, intelligence and strength who sets out to seduce the crusader Rinaldo through beauty and magic, only to fall in love herself. The wine’s soft, sweet and enveloping character echoes this seductive literary figure.
